Hello Ed,
Thanks for your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX X look forward to assisting you today and providing you with the best answer possible.
Please follow these steps and let me know if you have any questions.

Connecting your iPad® to your wireless network is quick and simple. Before connecting, you need to make sure that you have your router’s Wireless Network Name (SSID) and network key or Password. To learn how to check your wireless settings using the Cisco Connect software, click here. To check using Cisco Connect Express, click here.

QUICK TIP: You can also check your router's wireless settings using the iPad®. Click here for instructions.

This article will guide you on how to manually connect your iPad® to the wireless network.

NOTE: To learn how to connect devices using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) on your iPad® through Cisco Connect Express, click here.

Step 1:
On your iPad®’s Home Screen, tap Settings.

Step 2:
Select Wi-Fi.

NOTE: If the Wi-Fi feature is OFF, slide the Wi-Fi switch to the right to activate.

Step 3:
On the right navigation, tap on your wireless network’s name.

NOTE: In this example, ShinyPenguin is used.

NOTE: If the iPad® can’t detect your wireless network’s name, but your other devices can, try enabling and disabling the Wi-Fi feature of the iPad®. If you still can’t see the network, powercycle the iPad® by powering it OFF then ON.

Step 4:
Enter your network’s Password in the available field. Tap Join.

Your iPad® should now be connected to your wireless network.

You should see a solid Airport icon on the upper-left corner of your iPad®, when you are already connected to the network.

Please try this,
Hold the home button and the power button down until you see the Apple Logo, then release the buttons and allow the iPad to reboot. Then try and connect again.
